"We are celebrating today (15 May 1997) Buddha Purnima or Buddha Jay anti.
What does Purnima (full moon) signify? It signifies wholeness. When the mind
is filled with love, it achieves fullness. As long as the mind is filled with
darkness (evil thoughts), there is no meaning in celebrating Buddha Purnima.
Get rid of this darkness." Sai Baba, SS, 6/97, p. 149
